"HE REFUSED RICHES"
" r~TVHE treasures in Egypt" is an expression that seems
* to tell of boundless wealth which Moses might
have enjoyed had he been content to remain with
Pharaoh's daughter. We may well suppose these
"treasures" would have been a mighty fortune. Enough
is still remaining in Egypt to give us some idea of the
money at the King's disposal. The pyramids, and
obelisks, and temples, and statues are still there as standing witnesses. The ruins at Camac, and Luxor, and
Denderah, and many other places, are still the mightiest
buildings in the world. They testify to this day that the
man who gave up Egyptian wealth, gave up something
which even our English minds would find it hard to
reckon up and estimate. Consider, for a moment, the
power of money—the immense influence that the "love
of money" obtains over men's minds. Let us look and
observe how men covet it, and what amazing pains and
trouble they will go through to get it. Tell them of an
island many thousand miles away, where something
may be found which may be profitable if imported, and
at once a fleet of ships will be sent to get it. Show
them a way to make one per cent, more of their money,
and they will reckon you among the wisest of men—
they will almost fall down and worship you. To
possess money seems to hide defects—to cover over
faults—to clothe a man with virtues. People can get
over much, if you are rich! But here is a man who might
have been rich, and would not. He would not have
Egyptian treasures. He turned his back upon them. He
refused them. He gave them up!—and all this he did
deliberately. Others have done well in the way of self-
sacrifice and self-denial, but he excels them all. May
we be as a faithful to our Lord and Master.
